Hi Raoul,

Please, feel free to share the link with your colleagues. All comments are welcome.

However, given that the deadline to send our outcome paper to the IGF Secretariat is 10 November (originally, it was 1 November but I have already asked an extension to have some more time for discussion on list), I suggest we send the current version of the declaration (v.3.1 that includes Carlos’ comment)  together with the report outlook, as a DC3 outcome document.

Then, we can use the last part of the day 0 event to discuss the text and incorporate further comments, including those shared by Raoul’s colleagues.

Best

Luca

Hi all,

The declaration looks good to me. Carlos' point seems valida as well and we should take heed.

Can I show this link (URL) text to some of my contacts just to have some more people to review it? Namely, I'm thinking of some of Pirate contacts who might have some valuable input.

I am sorry I have not been more active recently, but I am coming to the IGF and will attend day 0 with you. Hopefully getting a lot more done there. :)

I agree with Carlos on this.
